Abstract: A cigarette paper is shown which has a surface, at least a part of the surface having the properties of: no artificial perforation an air permeability of at least 15 CU, and for an exponent k measured with a measuring head with a rectangular opening of 2 mm by 15 mm in accordance with ISO 2965:2009, which is defined as: k = log ? Q 1 Q 2 log ? p 1 p 2 where: Q1 represents air-flow through the paper at a pressure difference p1=1.00 kPa, Q2 represents air-flow through the paper at a pressure difference p2=0.25 kPa, and wherein k?0.98 and k?0.8.

Abstract: A cigarette paper is shown which has the following properties over at least a part of its surface: no artificial perforation, the air permeability is at least 15 CU, preferably at least 20 CU, and especially preferably at least 25 CU, and for the exponent k, measured with a measuring head with a rectangular opening of 2 mm by 15 mm, in accordance with ISO 2965:2009, which is defined by k = log ? Q 1 Q 2 log ? p 1 p 2 with Q1: air-flow through the paper at a pressure difference p1=1.00 kPa and Q2: air-flow through the paper at a pressure difference p2=0.25 kPa, the following holds k?0.98, preferably k?0.95, especially preferably k?0.93, and k?0.80, preferably k?0.85.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cigarette paper onto which a composition is applied in the form of a pattern which has a Tamura coarseness of at most 0.22 mm, preferably at most 0.2 mm. According to ISO 2470-1 the absolute difference in whiteness between an area of the cigarette paper over the whole of which the composition is applied and an area of the cigarette paper onto which the composition is not applied is at least 25% in the dry state, preferably at least 35% and particularly preferably at least 40% and at most 60%, preferably at most 55%. Furthermore, the opacity according to ISO 2471 of an area of the cigarette paper over the whole of which this composition is applied is higher, when the composition is in the dry state, than the opacity of an area onto which this composition is not applied.
